The Experience

Want to step out of the rat race? Here's your chance to go back to a simpler, more peaceful and meaningful time! We live off the land as much as possible, recycle, reuse, make ourselves. You'd be joining us in everything we do - from gardening, building, cooking, we etc. as part of the family. We have a gluten-free mostly vegetarian diet. ---We have 2 positions: One is a strictly helper/assistant role, the other a more learning oriented one.

The loefflers, are two extremely special people. Who I had the privilege to spend time with, and grow a life lasting connection with. The story's they have, and knowledge they give is exactly what I wanted for my world packers experience. I'd say I've become a kinder and happier person, being around them. The kindness they showed me on a day to day basis, is unmatched, to anyone I've ever met. I would HIGHLY recommend anyone who are on the fence, about applying to volunteer here, do it you will not regret this lovely experience. Great food, beautiful scenery, and lovely host.

Words are not enough to express how beautiful my experience with Katy and Hardy was. From the very first moment, they made me feel like part of their family. They were always empathetic, flexible, patient, and a lot of fun. Always open to exchanging ideas and learning new things together. Their home is a beautiful place, full of stories, amazing books, magazines and memories. My heart feels tender when I think about the blessing I had to be welcomed into their home and to get to know them, I already miss them so much 🥺 Thank you!!!
